Android: record videos without sound - how it works
With your Android smartphone or tablet you can record videos without sound. We summarize the details in this article.
- Open the camera app.
- Click on the gear on the left of the screen.
- Navigate in the menu to the point "Video options"
- Uncheck "Record with audio".
Alternative app for video recording
You cannot deactivate audio recording on all smartphones. In the PlayStore you can download the CameraPro app (subject to a charge), with which you can also rotate videos without sound.
- Please note, however, that according to the manufacturer, the video function of this app is currently (as of February 24, 2014) still in the beta phase and does not work on some devices.
- You can still test the app, because Google grants you a return of the purchased app. However, this deadline is only 15 minutes. Therefore, you should test the app immediately after downloading and return it promptly if necessary. See this article for more information.
Remove the audio track afterwards
If you cannot record without sound with your smartphone, the soundtrack can be deleted afterwards. You can find a small collection of appropriate software in this practical tip.
- There are also many video converters, such as the Freemake Video Converter, that you can use to remove the audio track.
